Chapter 4: Sacrifice or something

The war began - no, it was more appropriate to say a one-sided slaughter than a war, and the salvo of three hundred Norse archers had not killed a few people in this uneven salvo, and it had just snowed so much that the earth was covered in silver, and most of the arrows fell to the ground and were destroyed. No harm at all - however, hundreds of arrows whizzing at such a sudden are still very deterrent. When the Norse archers switched to ordinary arrows and fired a salvo, and watched the people around them fall one by one, the women and children began to scream.

The scene was chaotic. And in the next moment, four groups of six hundred Viking soldiers rushed forward, and when they faced the old, weak, sick and disabled, they knocked them away with their round shields, and when they faced the young men, especially those with weapons in their hands, they cut them down with an axe.

Although it happened suddenly, the quality of the Viking warriors was still worthy of recognition - the Viking warriors, who had been half-drunk at the banquet just now, directly grabbed the axes around them and ran out as soon as they heard the shouts outside.

However, the courage is commendable, but the gap in strength is completely one-sided.

The total number of regular Viking warriors in this tribe is less than a hundred, and among the hundred, except for a few elite people wearing chain mail or hard leather armor, the others are only equipped with fur clothes that are more warm than defensive, and the muscular arms and thighs that are exposed to the outside can be seen as a symbol of strength, but they also really give people the feeling of "are you mocking me for not daring to cut there". In terms of quantity, quality, and equipment, they are completely at a disadvantage, plus they have mental calculation or unintentionality - these seventy or eighty warriors are divided into several longhouses, and as soon as they are dispersed, they are scattered by Zheng Zhilong and his gang, usually several, or even a dozen Viking soldiers attacking a tribal warrior.

Although the Vikings flaunt martial arts, they will never reject intrigue - after all, these guys are pirates, and they are old people who cheat and cheat. Naturally, there will be no rejection of playing more and less. They all went up happily to beat, cut the opponent to pieces with a few axes, and then cut off their heads, holding each other's braids and laughing wildly.

In less than half a day, this tribe became history, and the Viking soldiers who were proficient in killing and arson killed and robbed, turning this tribe upside down, and found a total of 1,500 gold coins, a number of other gold and silver utensils, a number of grain, dried meat and spirits. After that, he pressed the old men, children, and women who were taken prisoner, as well as a small number of young men who were all wounded, and sang war songs and prepared to go back.

In this way, the first battle was won, Zheng Zhilong heard a system prompt sound of Ding Dong, and when he looked at the task again, the "Twelve Tribes Around the Peristation" was followed by a parentheses, saying (1/12) It must be such a thing as completion. At the same time, the voice of the system elf who had bad intentions and wanted to pretend to be a good person also sounded.

"Ah, that's amazing, very decisive. There was no hesitation at all, and I didn't feel sick when I saw those corpses, and I didn't feel sorry when I saw those women and children crying bitterly. Should you say you're a madman, or should you say you're an adaptable cockroach?"

"Neither of these is a good word. Zheng Zhilong rode his horse leisurely and replied casually, and then said casually: "Also, I thought about it just now, and I have a question for you." ”

"What?" the system elf asked.

"Can there be a name like Zheng Zhilong among the Vikings?" Zheng Zhilong asked knowingly as if talking to himself.

"You don't have to think about it to know that it can't be there. The system genie replied.

"Definitely. Zheng Zhilong knocked his head slightly, and then said, "So, do you have any suggestions for a tall and handsome name that conforms to the habits of the Vikings?"

"Eh, haven't you learned the Norse language, can't you make your own?" the system genie asked rhetorically.

"I just recognize it, but I can't write, and I'm half illiterate, so I can give it a good name. Zheng Zhilong laughed at himself.

"Egil Skadergrímsson. So, the system wizard gave the answer directly.

"What's that?" Zheng Zhilong asked.

"Viking warriors, poets, anti-heroes - once, in your original world. The system genie replied.

"Is it famous?" Zheng Zhilong then asked.

"It may be famous in the future. The system elf said meaningfully.

"That's it. Zheng Zhilong said - this may be the last time the name is used.

"Eh, don't you think about it, and you made such a hasty decision?"

"The name is just a code name. Except for some names with special meanings, such as Long Aotian or Li Yuchun, the rest are casual. Egil Skadergrímsson, or Egil for short, said.

"You're really open-minded. The system elf complimented insincerely.

"Being thrown into this kind of place for no reason, no TV, no internet, no seasoning for meals, and maybe even hung up, do you think I can be a little more open-minded?" Egil was still lazy.

“......”

After that, the system elf was silent for a few seconds: "Then, speaking of which, I still have something to do with you this time." ”

“...... Next time, let's get down to business. ”

"Sorry, pay attention next time. The system elf said perfunctorily without repentance: "That is, you should know what this kind of thing does to you, right?"

"Of course, a second of life for a little coupon, ten bonds for a second of life - you can't forget it. ”

"What if I told you - there is a way for you to get bonds without losing your life?"

“...... So you should tell me about something like this first. ”

"Sorry, pay attention next time. ”

The system elf still has no such guarantees.

"Tell me, what's it?" said Egil, pouting.

"Speaking of which, this way of swapping is quite simple. The system elf said very easily: "It's life." Oh life. It seems that the Viking warrior in the prime of life who was killed before can exchange his life for three bonds, while an ordinary adult man, his life can be exchanged for a little coupon, and the lives of two people can be exchanged for a little coupon. Of course, for the sake of convenience, you don't need to do it yourself, and the people killed by your subordinates are also counted on your head. ”

"Are you the devil?"

Despite these words, Egil did not seem to waver.

"Eh, aren't you surprised, aren't you scared? Won't you ask: What are your intentions, what are you, what are you going to do to me?"

"Does it work?"

“...... Not really. But your reaction is too boring. Are you really not afraid of anything?"

"No, it's not. ”

"Huh?"

"If someone had put a knife on my neck, I would probably have done it if I had been asked to kneel down and call him Ancestor. ”

“...... I see. ”

"So...... The ...... killed by the army before me"

"I've already counted it all. There were eighty-five Viking warriors, fifty-four ordinary young men, and sixteen old, weak, sick and disabled. That's a total of 315 bonds. ”

"Sure enough. I thought to myself, and then the system interface appeared in front of me, and there was indeed a prompt pop-up window, and after clicking on it, it said a bloody font: Congratulations, you just got 315 bonds.

"Hmph...... The exchange intermediate system has been strengthened, and there is also an intermediate hardiness. ”

"Eh, in that case, I'm going to have to put in eighty-five bonds. ”

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, after a while, the capital will come back. ”

"That's ......" At this time, if the system elf has a real form, I'm afraid it will be impossible to close its mouth with a smile.

"Anyway, is that what you're really sending me here for?" Egir suddenly asked, as the system elves were secretly having fun.

However, the system elves are also experienced in a hundred battles, and the elite salesmen who have abducted and deceived countless boys and girls cannot be deceived by Egil like this.

"How is it possible, it's just a side benefit of the system. It has nothing to do with your crossing or anything. ”

"Is that so? This temptation was ineffective, but Egil was not annoyed, knowing that most of the system elves were now on guard, and it was useless to ask any more, so he closed his mouth. Leisurely hurried - at this moment, the two castes he exchanged were all in place, and the Nordic wind and snow were blowing on him, but he didn't feel so cold.

Let's talk about it next, in short, it is impossible for you to lead the nose like this. Egil thought so.

"It's impossible to be led by the nose by someone?" the system elf asked coldly.

"Who else but you?" said Egil, not at all embarrassed by the revelation of his words, but admitted calmly - and then grabbed the horse's belly: "Hah!" and rushed away from the guards in front of him.

"With such a great river and mountain at my disposal, how can I take care of some trivial chores?!" Egil shouted half-truthfully, but he didn't know if it was his own sincerity or the system elves......

At this moment, it was already evening, and the sky was dotted with stars, but a few sharp-eyed Viking warriors were a little surprised and pointed to the sky with their fingers: "Look! Aurora! Red Aurora!"

As they looked where his finger was pointing, they saw that the colorful, treacherous blood-red color gradually occupied most of the place in the sky......;
